[libvirt] [PATCH/RFC]: don't ignore errors to save the domain status file
by Guido Günther 07 Feb '09

07 Feb '09

Hi, we currently don't report errors to save qemu's domain status file back to the caller. That was o.k. as long as the code was there for testing but now that the XML is being picked up on daemon restart we must handle these. The attached patch does that, although I'm not confident that it's enough. While we return error on device attach/unattach the device actually got attached/unattached already. Same is true for suspend/resume. A better solution would be to write out the new domain status into a temp file and simply call rename(2) on it when the attach/unattach succeeds and discard it if it fails. This would minimize the possible error conditions like disk full, missing permissions to write into that directory etc. Does this sound reasonable? O.k. to apply the attached version for now? Cheers, -- Guido

[libvirt] [PATCH] turn off strict-aliasing warnings in two files
by Jim Meyering 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

Without these changes and with gcc-4.4, I'd get 4 warnings (2 in each file) about strict-aliasing violations. -Wstrict-aliasing is worth keeping in general, so I have disabled it only for the two offending files.

[libvirt] I have been looking over James Morris patches for svirt.
by Daniel J Walsh 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 What is the process to get them into libvirt? I have begun to look at the second componant of the libvirt change. James patch, allows libvirt to read the SELinux context out of the xml database and execute qemu with the context. The second componant is to pass the context of the image(s) and allow libvirt to not only set the image, but also update the default labels on disk, so a relabel will not change the context. I have some patches to do this, but want to make sure the original patches are acceptable? The last changes and perhaps the most difficult is figuring out how to get the labels into the XML database in the first place. I guess virt_manager will somehow figure out what the labels should be and assign them.

[libvirt] FreeNodeMemory
by Gihan Munasinghe 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

Hi Is there a specific reason for not having a "free_memory" with in the "virNodeInfo" structure. I can see there is "virNodeGetFreeMemory(connection)" which currently not implemented for XEN.. I can add the patch to do this.. But I would like to clarify why we have not add "free_memory" in to the virNodeInfo structure..

[libvirt] PATCH: Fix multiple bugs in RPC handling
by Daniel P. Berrange 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

A number of bugs conspired together to cause some nasty problems when a QEMU vm failed to start - vm->monitor was not initialized to -1, so when a VM failed to start the vm->monitor was just '0', and thus we closed FD 0 (libvirtd's stdin) - The next client to connect got FD 0 as its socket - The first bug struck again, causing the client to be closed even though libvirt thought it was still open - libvirtd now polle on FD=0, which gave back POLLNVAL because it was closed - event.c was not looking for POLLNVAL so it span 100% cpu when this happened, instead of invoking the callback with an error code - virsh was not cleaning up the priv->watiDispatch call upon I/O errors, so virsh then hung when doing virConenctClose This patch does 3 things - Treats POLLNVAL as VIR_EVENT_HANDLE_ERROR, so the callback gets to see the error & de-registers the client from the event loop - Add the missing initialization of vm->monitor - Fix remote_internal.c handling of I/O errors Daniel Index: qemud/event.c =================================================================== RCS file: /data/cvs/libvirt/qemud/event.c,v retrieving revision 1.17 diff -u -p -u -p -r1.17 event.c --- qemud/event.c 22 Dec 2008 12:55:47 -0000 1.17 +++ qemud/event.c 5 Feb 2009 17:12:51 -0000 @@ -653,6 +653,8 @@ virPollEventToEventHandleType(int events ret |= VIR_EVENT_HANDLE_WRITABLE; if(events & POLLERR) ret |= VIR_EVENT_HANDLE_ERROR; + if(events & POLLNVAL) /* Treat NVAL as error, since libvirt doesn't distinguish */ + ret |= VIR_EVENT_HANDLE_ERROR; if(events & POLLHUP) ret |= VIR_EVENT_HANDLE_HANGUP; return ret; Index: src/domain_conf.c =================================================================== RCS file: /data/cvs/libvirt/src/domain_conf.c,v retrieving revision 1.64 diff -u -p -u -p -r1.64 domain_conf.c --- src/domain_conf.c 30 Jan 2009 21:52:22 -0000 1.64 +++ src/domain_conf.c 5 Feb 2009 17:12:51 -0000 @@ -504,6 +504,7 @@ virDomainObjPtr virDomainAssignDef(virCo domain->state = VIR_DOMAIN_SHUTOFF; domain->def = def; domain->monitor_watch = -1; + domain->monitor = -1; if (VIR_REALLOC_N(doms->objs, doms->count + 1) < 0) { virReportOOMError(conn); Index: src/remote_internal.c =================================================================== RCS file: /data/cvs/libvirt/src/remote_internal.c,v retrieving revision 1.136 diff -u -p -u -p -r1.136 remote_internal.c --- src/remote_internal.c 3 Feb 2009 13:08:07 -0000 1.136 +++ src/remote_internal.c 5 Feb 2009 17:12:52 -0000 @@ -6192,17 +6192,17 @@ processCalls(virConnectPtr conn, continue; virReportSystemError(in_open ?

[libvirt] RFC: configuring host interfaces with libvirt
by David Lutterkort 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

For certain applications, we want libvirt to be able to configure host network interfaces in a variety of ways; currently, we are most interested in teaching libvirt how to set up ordinary ethernet interfaces, bridges, bonding and vlan's. Below is a high-level proposal of how that could be done. Please comment copiously ;) 1. XML Format ============= The first question is how the user would describe the host interfaces they want. Below are some sketches of what an XML representation of the various kinds of interfaces would look like. This covers the minimal amount of settings for these to be useful, though I am sure we'll need to add more over time. <interface device="eth0" onboot="yes"> <hwaddr>00:19:d2:9f:88:96</hwaddr> <dhcp peerdns="yes"/> </interface> <interface device="eth1" onboot="yes"> <hwaddr>00:19:d2:9f:88:97</hwaddr> <static ipaddr="192.168.0.5" gateway="192.168.0.1" netmask="255.255.255.0"/> </interface> <interface device="eth2" onboot="yes"> <hwaddr>00:19:d2:9f:88:98</hwaddr> </interface> <bond name="bond00" onboot="yes" mode="active-backup"> <slave device="eth0" primary="yes"/> <slave device="eth1"/> </bond> <bridge name="br0" stp="off" onboot="yes"> <member device="eth2"/> <dhcp peerdns="yes"/> </bridge> <vlan device="eth0" tag="42" reorder_hdr="yes"/> All of these should also allow a <uuid> element for specifying a uuid; I omitted that for brevity. 2. API Changes ============== There are two options for dealing with network interfaces: (1) use the existing virNetwork* calls or (2) add completely new API calls. Repurposing existing virNetwork* calls -------------------------------------- The existing calls map well to the operations we need for managing interfaces, with a few exceptions: - virNetworkGetAutostart/SetAutostart: depending on how we implement all this (see below), 'autostart' might actually mean 'on boot', not 'when libvirtd starts' - virNetworkGetBridgeName doesn't make sense for interfaces, and should return NULL for interfaces We'll probably also end up adding some functions to query details about an interface, in particular, a call to see what kind of network/interface a virNetworkPtr represents Add completely new virInterface* calls -------------------------------------- This would add roughly the same API calls as the virNetwork* calls, i.e. we'd have something like typedef struct virInterface *virInterfacePtr; int virInterfaceCreate(virInterfacePtr); virInterfacePtr virInterfaceCreateXML(..); ... plus some calls to extract information from a virInterfacePtr The second option seems cleaner to me and easier to implement, and avoids any subtle changes in the behavior of existing API, though I don't like that we'll be adding another 20 or so calls to libvirt's public API, with attendant churn both in the drivers and in virsh. 3. Implementation ================= Configuring network interfaces is highly OS and OS-variant/distro dependant. There are at least two different ways how libvirt can go about modifying the host to create interfaces: 1. Modify the system's network setup scripts (ifcfg-XXX on RH) 2. Directly use the system's network utilities like ifconfig 3. Rely on NetworkManager (not an option right now, as NM doesn't know about bridges and the like) Option (1) saves us from replicating every bit of network setup functionality that those scripts already have - besides configuring the interface, we also might have to setup routes, run dhclient etc. Option (2) would require far fewer backend implementations than (1) - we should be able to get away with one implementation for Linux, rather than one for Fedora/RHEL, one for Debian, one for SuSe, three for gentoo etc. If we want 'autostart' for an interface to mean 'bring up the interface as soon as the system boots', we are pretty much forced to go with option (1). All in all, option (1) seems more attractive, since it should save us from dealing with a lot of low-level details of network setup, and the distro scripts should be much better integrated with the rest of the system than what we come up with for libvirt. 4. Misc issues ============== * Should interfaces have labels/roles ('data-interface') to help admins make sense of the current config ? * Do we expect interfaces to be in a specific state before we create them or do we just tear them down and reconfigure them no matter what ? * Are there crucial config options that are not covered by the sketches above (e.g., setting an explicit MTU) ? Are there things in the XML sketches above that will be impossible to implement on some OS ? * Should this even be done as part of libvirt ? It seems like a very generic network config tool, and libvirt merely the conduit to exposing this through an API, most importantly, a remotable API. David
